Churchill Downs Race 9 - Arlington S. Stakes

BRILLIANT BERTI (9) Stormed home to win last run around here. Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr does know the horse very well. Appears well in this. HERCHEE (4) Won easily by 3L last time at Keeneland. Won't be far away during the run. Expect to go close. LAGYNOS (5) Strong effort to run into 2nd beaten by 1/2L last time here. Jockey Flavien Prat is a strong choice aboard. Serious player. CALL PROTECTION (6) Was eating up the ground late when winning last run here. Unbeaten last 2 starts. Irad Ortiz Jr rates highly. Likely to fill a place.
